Transformation, turnaround, ramp-up, interim leadership: the more precise the context, the more accurate the shortlist. Three channels, your choice.
HEADQUARTERS
MT-Transition (SASU)
On-site engagements throughout France.
Your request, whichever channel you use to reach us, always goes directly and personally to Mounir Telkass: never to a generic inbox handled by a switchboard or account manager. For a written message sent via the form above or directly by email, the response always comes within the same business day: an initial reply aimed at clarifying the exact context of your need before proposing a time for a phone conversation. For a direct call, you get immediate attention or, if Mounir is already on the line or on-site with a client, a callback within 2 business hours. In both cases, this first exchange commits you to nothing: it simply serves to qualify the situation (role concerned, urgency, sector) to determine whether a transition management assignment is the right answer, or whether your need falls under something else.
A vacant industrial leadership position or an operational crisis rarely waits for a full written brief. The phone is the right channel for any urgent situation: a supply disruption, a leadership position that opens overnight, a client audit announced for the coming weeks. The contact form remains perfectly suited for less immediate thinking, an early-stage inquiry ahead of a need that is still uncertain, or simply a preference for writing things down before a first spoken exchange. Neither channel is treated with less seriousness than the other: only the initial response time differs slightly depending on the channel chosen.
You absolutely do not need a complete, finalized brief to contact us today: most executives call us with a situation that is still unclear, and clarifying it is precisely the purpose of that first exchange. A few details do help speed up qualification, though: the industrial sector concerned, the nature of the role or function affected (site leadership, CFO, HR director…), and above all, what is driving the urgency. There’s no need to already know the exact profile you’re looking for: describing, even imprecisely, what is pushing you to look for a solution now rather than wait is enough.
MT-Transition operates across the entire French metropolitan territory, with transition managers already positioned in most of the country’s major industrial hubs. The benchmark commitment of 3 targeted profiles within 72 hours remains our reference standard regardless of region: it may occasionally extend by a few days for rare profiles (CRO, general management) or highly regulated sectors (pharmaceutical, nuclear), for reasons detailed on the dedicated role and sector pages. The two-business-hour callback, on the other hand, applies without exception to every inbound call during business hours. Outside those hours, a voicemail or email receives a response as soon as we’re back, generally first thing the next business day.
It regularly happens that we point an executive toward a different solution than the one they originally had in mind, including when that means we won’t be engaged on that particular assignment. This honesty from the very first contact builds the trust needed for the exchanges that follow, should an assignment materialize later.
All information you share with us during this very first contact (company name, precise situation, personal data submitted via the form) remains strictly confidential and is never shared with third parties without your explicit agreement. This confidentiality requirement matters most on the most sensitive situations: a vacant position not yet announced internally, a restructuring in preparation, or a financial difficulty the company does not want circulating before a solution is in hand.
“Do we already need to know precisely and exactly what type of transition manager we need?”: No, not at all. Most executives who contact us identify the precise role (site director, CFO, HR director…) during the first exchange, not before.
“Is the first call really free and without commitment?”, Yes, always: we charge nothing before a mandate is signed, and you remain entirely free not to follow up after the conversation.
“Can we contact MT-Transition for a simple question, without an immediate need for an assignment?”: Yes, including for a need that is still hypothetical a few months out, or simply to better understand what a transition assignment actually involves before you need one.
“Does the two-hour callback commitment also apply on weekends?”: Our commitment covers business hours; a message left over the weekend receives a response first thing Monday morning, unless an urgency is explicitly flagged.
Whichever you ultimately choose (phone, email, or the form above) the standard of responsiveness applied remains exactly the same: no request goes unanswered for more than one business day. This discipline is not a marketing promise but an operational commitment. Whether you’re still hesitating between calling Mounir directly or simply filling out the form, favor the call as soon as the situation feels urgent or the subject is hard to summarize in a few written lines. The form remains perfectly suited for a more considered approach, or if you prefer to organize your thoughts in writing before a first spoken exchange with Mounir Telkass. Neither choice is wrong: both channels lead to the same person, with the same level of attention given to your industrial situation.
Finally, and this is worth stating clearly: if your need doesn’t directly fall under a transition management assignment but you’re unsure of the best option (traditional recruitment, a one-off consulting assignment, or simple HR support) feel free to tell us anyway. We would rather point you honestly toward the most suitable solution, even if that means it isn’t us, than take on an assignment that isn’t the right fit.
The quickest way to reach us in English is by phone or email: both go directly to Mounir Telkass, with the same two-business-hour callback commitment described above.
